New York Sportsman.- "When there may arise differences of opinion as to 

 some of the suggestions contained in this volume, the reader, especially if a woman, 

 may feel assured she will not go far astray in accepting what is said by one of her 

 own sex, who has the distinction of three times beating the Empress of Austria in 

 the hunting field, from whom she ' took the brush.' ' Riding for Ladies ' is certain 

 to become a classic."
